Coffee cake cupcakes offer the hominess of a classic coffee cake, made into cupcakes and topped with a drizzle of glaze.
Coffee cake has been one of my favorites since I was a teenager. The cinnamon-flavored cake, topped with a crumble crust, just screams homey goodness!
I’ve taken the classic coffee cake, created them as cupcakes and added an elegant drizzle of glaze to the top. From the amazing cinnamon smell, while they are in the oven, to the moist and delicate texture of the cupcakes, I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!
